General Sauce
1 bottle of general or orange chicken sauce
Orange zest to taste (less is better)

Oil
Lots of high heat safe oil

Chop, mix, bread, fry.

Instructions:

Cut your chicken into small little pieces and coat in mayonnaise. *Mayonnaise was my egg bath substitute due to my lack of eggs in the fridge and worked well. Good thing because I don’t support abortion.

Combine the dry coating ingredients in a separate bowl.

you can see the sieve in the foreground for draining some oil off.

Place coated chicken in dry bath and toss like a deflated football.

Fill a pot with oil, you don’t need as much as you think and heat to 350 degrees. Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes. Try to maintain oil temperature at 350 degrees (ie you need to increase heat after you add the chicken).

Remove chicken and place in a pan.

Add General sauce and toss at mediumish heat and add orange zest to taste.
I’m too poor to have a wok, but my non-stick pan worked OK. I went easy on the sauce, but add as much as you like.

Heat until your desired caramelization.

And there you have it.

sauce from Whole Foods, try applying it lightly first and see.it.
